Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you to all the witnesses for joining us today.

Mr. Balsillie, I'm really interested in all the work you've done, talking about intellectual property and protecting that in Canada. You've identified some of that today. Canada, in 2019, generated about $39-billion worth of IP, but the U.S. generated $6.6 trillion. That's 169 times our intellectual property.

You had some recommendations tonight, but what, specifically, is the U.S. doing that we're not to generate the intellectual property that they are just south of us?
